ATTENTION - Due to the threat of severe storms Sunday, we’ve made the unfortunate decision to cancel the show. The board will be meeting to discuss possible rain dates.

We did not make this decision lightly!

At this point we are looking at three SATURDAYS in September as possible rain dates - we’d appreciate your feedback on rescheduling for a rain date! We know with school in session and sports, September weekends can be tricky.

Should we choose not to do a third show, we will update on how year end points will work.

I have noticed something about old horses.

The older they get, the less interested they seem in proving anything.

The young horses run.

The young horses test boundaries.

The young horses worry about where they stand.

But the old horses…

The old horses seem to know something.

They know where the water is.

They know where the shade will be in the afternoon.

They know which storms matter and which ones will pass.

They know that not every disagreement requires a fight.

Not every noise requires alarm.

Not every moment requires action.

Sometimes they simply stand quietly beneath a tree and watch the world unfold.

And I wonder if wisdom might look a lot like that.

Not knowing more facts.

Not having all the answers.

But no longer feeling the need to chase every fear, every ambition, every disturbance that passes through life.

I think our culture often celebrates youth because youth is exciting.

But there is a different kind of beauty in age.

A quieter beauty.

The beauty of perspective.

The beauty of patience.

The beauty of having survived enough seasons to recognize that life is not a problem to solve.

It is something to experience.

When I sit with old horses, I often find myself slowing down.

Breathing differently.

Thinking differently.

As if they are reminding me of something I once knew.

That not everything valuable moves quickly.

That not everything important can be measured.

That there is a kind of richness that only arrives with time.

Perhaps that is why I love old horses so much.

They seem to carry a message our world desperately needs to hear:

You do not have to remain young to remain beautiful.

You do not have to remain productive to remain valuable.

And you do not have to keep proving your worth once you finally understand that you already have it.

If today’s post resonated with you, you’ll find much more in my book, Chosen, Not Obeyed. It’s an invitation to see horses—and perhaps yourself—through a different lens.

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU DISMISS IN THE HORSE WORLD

The nervous beginner asking too many questions…
The girl riding the “average” horse…
The person with the old float, second-hand tack, and big dreams…
The quiet one standing on the fence watching and learning…

They may not look successful yet.
But not everyone starts with money, connections, confidence, or opportunities.

What the horse world needs more of is kindness.
People who encourage.
People who teach.
People who remember what it felt like to be new.

Stay humble.
Support people on the way up.
And never underestimate someone with heart, grit, and a dream bigger than their circumstances.
